Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling turned real-life action hero by saving a journalist who was almost mowed down by a taxi.

British writer Laurie Penny was left stunned after actor swooped in to save her when she stepped into a busy New York City street on Tuesday.

Penny immediately took to her Twitter.com page to share her lucky escape with followers and to hail Gosling a hero.

She tweeted, “I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened. I was crossing 6th Avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi. … He said, ‘Hey, watch out!'”

Penny then joked, “I would also like to thank the several other, more anonymous New Yorkers who have saved me from cars since my stay here.”

“The Hangover” hunk has claimed the 2011 crown but admits Gosling is a more deserving winner as the Canadian actor always looks groomed.

He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, “It’s so awful that I’m admitting this but the hell with it – there was such a backlash to when they announced it. Ryan Gosling, who I love and I just did a movie with him, he’s the greatest, but we were both in Paris this last week and a friend of mine showed me photographs (of us) from the paparazzi. When I say friend I mean me alone in my room looking at the computer!

“There’s him walking around and he literally looks like he’s in a photoshoot, like he just came off the runway. And there’s ones of me and I literally look like the neighbor who never really comes out of his house. And when he does you’re like, ‘Maybe he should just stay in! We don’t know what he does in there!’ So it’s been interesting.”

Cooper admits he’s still coming to terms with all the adulation, adding, “It’s the worst! It’s just so awful. I’m finally at an age, I’m 36 years old, where I really don’t care about anything like that anymore, which is a wonderful thing. Then this (People magazine title) happened and I started to realize how not sexy I am. I have a lot of moments where I’ll be walking out, I open up the door and think, ‘I could do that a lot sexier. That was not very sexy at all!'”

But Gosling and Mendes refused to hide their reported romance on Saturday when they were snapped linking arms and kissing as they strolled through Paris’ Pere Lachaise Cemetery.

According to Us Weekly, Gosling’s visit to Paris was a surprise to Mendes, who is currently filming her new movie “Holly Motors” in France.

A source tells the publication, “They were talking all the time so she had no hints that he was coming. She was really homesick and missed him, even though she practically just left (America) to shoot.”

“We used to do terrible things. We thought we were so cool when we were on the Mickey Mouse Club. Looking back on them, they weren’t as bad as I thought they were at the time. We stole a golf cart. And we we’re like, ‘Yeah, man. We’re stealing a golf cart…’ but… it’s, like, on a backlot; there’s golf carts everywhere.

“We stole the golf cart and we drove into MGM Studios, which is totally illegal by the way… We went and got milkshakes.”

Actor Ryan Gosling’s female-focused upbringing and ballet lessons have left him thinking “like a girl.”

The “Drive” star was brought up as the only boy in a house of women after his parents divorced, and he was home-schooled after his early brush with fame as a ‘Mouseketeer’ on the Disney Channel made him the target of bullies.

And he admits his reliance on his sister and his girly hobbies left him deeply in touch with his feminine side.

Gosling tells Britain’s The Independent, “I think like a girl, I think. I was literally raised by my mother and my sister. And I just feel like I wouldn’t know how to think any other way. My sister was my best friend and my hero growing up. Because I was home-schooled I didn’t have a lot of friends and I did ballet, which was always just girls. All of that had an effect on my brain.”

Ryan Gosling is already considering retiring from acting, because he can’t stand the idea of dedicating his life to just one profession.

The “Drive” star began his showbiz career at the age of 12, as a Mouseketeer on “The Mickey Mouse Club,” before landing critical acclaim for his serious roles in art-house films.

He is now gaining a reputation as one of Hollywood’s top stars thanks to a string of high-profile parts, but Gosling is adamant he will soon grow tired of acting and wants to carve out a new career.

He tells Britain’s The Independent, “I’ve been doing this since I was 12. … I don’t want to act much longer; I can’t do one thing my whole life. I know there are only so many characters I’ll be able to play. It will be over whenever the inspiration dries up.”

Actor Ryan Gosling is eager to cut down on his busy work schedule so he can settle down and start “making babies.”

“The Notebook” hunk, 30, admits he’s been putting his career above his personal life for too long, blaming the pressure of Hollywood for his failed romances with “the greatest girlfriends” Rachel McAdams and Sandra Bullock.

He tells Britain’s The Times newspaper, “I had two of the greatest girlfriends of all time. I haven’t met anybody who could top them…. Show-business is the bad guy. When both people are in show business it’s too much show-business. It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow.”

Gosling has since been romantically linked to Eva Mendes, but the actor insists he is “in a committed relationship with film,” adding, “I’m giving as much to it as a marriage.”

However, the star would love nothing better than to start a family.

He laments, “I’d like to be making babies but I’m not, so I’m making movies. When someone comes along I don’t think I’ll be able to do both and I’m fine with that. I’ll make movies until I make babies. I have no idea when the handover will happen.”

Gosling dated Bullock in 2002, while he parted from his “The Notebook” co-star McAdams for good in 2008. The couple enjoyed a brief reunion after initially splitting in 2007 after two years together.

Actor Ryan Gosling is “embarrassed” a video showing him breaking up a street fight in New York has gone viral online, because he feels he should have kept his “nose out of it.”

The star was strolling through the streets of the Big Apple’s East Village when he spotted two men brawling in the middle of the road.

Gosling was hailed a hero for stepping in to separate the pair – who were fighting over the ownership of a painting – but the actor is adamant he now regrets his actions.

He tells MTV News, “I’m embarrassed. I think that guy really was stealing that other guy’s painting, so I should have just kept my nose out of it. It was sad, because it turns out that I said to the guy, ‘Why are you doing this?’ He said, ‘Well, he tried to steal my painting.’ I said, ‘How do you know?’ and he said, ‘Well, he comes here every day and looks at my paintings,’ which means the guy was a fan, and so he wanted the painting so bad he had to steal it because he couldn’t afford it.

“So he finally steals the painting, and then he’s getting his ass kicked by his hero, and then the guy from ‘The Notebook’ shows up and makes it weirder. It’s just, the whole thing, nobody wins, nobody won.

“I did not win. I had just come from the gymnasium, and I was all stretched out and feeling warmed up. So, I’m embarrassed.”

Photos published in the new issue of the magazine clearly show the couple is more than just friends and a source tells the publication, “It hasn’t been a secret how excited Eva’s been to film with him, and she’s always joked with us about how gorgeous he is. She’s never been shy about having the hots for him!”

Mendes recently split from longtime boyfriend, filmmaker George Augusto, and has been romantically linked to funnyman Jason Sudeikis, while Gosling has dated his “The Notebook” co-star Rachel McAdams and has been linked to Sandra Bullock, Famke Janssen, Kat Dennings, Olivia Wilde and Blake Lively.
